The only harm would be if you repeatedly 'stopped' the automatic open/close operation. Operating it manually is akin to opening and closing your door. Just working the gas struts and your shoulder bursitis

I hope this works cause I love to open the doors and blast the speakers! Of course you can't really hear the dinging, but why have something else draw the battery down.

I've been using this feature (auto lock all doors from back deck) such as yesterday when I popped something into the back at COSTCO but didn't get in the car. It was a really helpful hint. Does anyone know if it's mentioned in the 2010 manual anywhere? If so, which one and what page?
Ahhhh, hey, thx there Jim.... its rare someone gets praise on a forum, what more can one ask for? :-) Did you check your manual? I could not find it in my 13 manual, but often they omit features by accident. Obviously I was not the only one who found it, but I just assumed from how the thread was going, not many people knew about it... seems this falls under the "no harm in asking", or in this case, "no harm mentioning it".... many people are helpful on this forum, glad I made a useful contribution to a seasoned pro....
Now, I need to get some of my questions answered :-)
I know, I tend to push the envelope on everything....OCD is not fun :-(

This does not work on my 2012 RX 350. It only stops as long as I hold the button in. If you can find it in the owners manual let us know. I would love that feature.
